An Olympic high diver has gravitational potential energy because of her height. As she dives, kinetic energy becomes of her energy just before she hits the water.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed or acquired by an object due to a change in its position when it is present in a gravitational field. In simple terms, it can be said that gravitational potential energy is an energy that is related to gravitational force or to gravity.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles.

When the high diver is standing stable and not moving , that diver has a gravitational potential energy because of the height . The moment she dives , before hitting the water , from being stationary she gained some momentum and come in motion , due to motion her gravitational potential energy will change to kinetic energy before hitting the ground.

Two people carry a heavy electric motor by placing it on a light board 2.45 m long. One person lifts at one end with a force of
maxonik [38]

Answer:

W=1055N

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must first do a drawing of the situation so we can visualize theh problem better. (See attached picture)

In this problem, we will ignore the board's weight. As we can see in the free body diagram of the board, there are only three forces acting on the system and we can say the system is in vertical equilibrium, so from this we can say that:

\sum F=0

so we can do the sum now:

F_{1}+F_{2}-W=0

when solving for the Weight W, we get:

W=F_{1}+F_{2}

and now we can substitute the given data, so we get:

W=410N+645N

W=1055N

You went 100 miles north and 14
skad [1K]

Answer:

82 degrees

Explanation:

consider your staying point to be the center of a circle. this center has the coordinates (0, 0).

the radius of the circle is the distance you walked East (14 miles).

I assume your teacher means as "angle of displacement" the angle between the East-West line going through your starting point and the direct line from your starting point to your current position.

then the 100 miles North is tan(displacement angle)×14.

as it is the same, if you first went North and then East, or the other way around. you end up at the same point, with the same coordinates.

so, again.

100 = 14×tan(angle)

tan(angle) = 100/14 = 50/7 = 7.142857...

the displacement angle is then 82 degrees.
